Hit: netscape crashing

[barbara prentice <bprentice@TACONIC.NET>]

I posted this message a few days ago:

Help!  We have been running Netscape 2.0 on a Power Mac 5200/75 with very
few problems until recently.  For the past few days, it's been crashing
with a system error 11 bomb.  I had recently downloaded Netscape defrost,
but that didn't help.  Actually the problem worsened after downloading
that, so I've removed it.  At the advice or our computer coordinator, I
removed the Netscape Preference file, and it's been better, but still
crashes several times a day.  If anyone can help, please answer me
directly.  Thankyou.


 Many of you asked me to post a hit because you were having a similar
problem, but I got very few suggestions. Here is what I got:

 Someone suggested increasing the memory of Netscape to 8500 by going into
Get Info.  I did this and netscape seems to be running better, although it
still  occasionally crashes.
                                Thanks for all your responses.
